Here are some of the more interesting (I use interesting very loosely) lines in the server log for March.

1.

68.231.xxx.xx - - [01/Mar/2007:11:29:36 -0500] "GET /.rss/all HTTP/1.1" 200 17439 "http://www.google.com/search?q=+used+dye+dm7&hl=en&safe=active&start=20&sa=N" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727)"

From: Google – used dye dm7
Browser: MSIE 6.0
Request: http://pbbucket.com/.rss/all

This is more of an annoyance of mine. I don't think Google should index RSS feeds. I have never found an RSS feed useful when I was searching. It just fuzzes the results. I'll write a post dedicated to this soon.

Now, these don't make sense. Nothing related to my sites are anywhere near a search for that. It seems like some sort of referrer spam, but who is it helping? Is it trying to make you search for those to maybe click some ads, or link to some site on the search list? I really don't know.

What is also interesting is that the reverse dns is tide525.microsoft.com. So is it Microsoft spam to make you search for those (since you want to see if your site is listed), and to click one of the ads?

I'm the number 2 result for that query. I'm on page 8 of the more sensible search 'making firefox scripts'. Anyways, to help you out, diveintogreasemonkey. It's what I used to make PbN Pro.

Woohoo! Someone is still using my search plugin I made for PbNation. Easy to make, but pretty useful. Too bad Pbnation decided to say 'Fuck You' to our relationship. If you still want it, I might be able to find the source of it around here somewhere.

Yay for being the first result! I moved up a few.

My first request from Iceweasel, whose sole purpose is to be ridiculous and confusing, I mean, is more ethical be being completely free. Also, I didn't know blogger's search would search blogs outside of the blogger realm. Learn something new everyday.

I'm on the first page for the search of feist fawn. Apparently, when other people write about Feisty Fawn, they don't forget the 'y'. If you really wanted, you could get probably get the first result for 'feist fawn' query, which is an easy spelling mistake to make.

Request: http://pbbucket.com/user/NotYourPsycho/

This isn't the first time someone has been searching for NotYourPsycho. She, yes, apparently girls are on the internet, was, and probably still is, a PbNation user that mainly posted in the Newbie OT that Calv invited to PbBucket back in an early beta stage (not like the beta stages really are that much different). I'm not sure if someone is stalking her, or that she just likes to find out who is talking about her. I'm going with the latter.

Nope, TimerLock is broken now. Try searching for vista+paradox, and see what turns up.
